I am working from a backup of my ConTeXt/teTeX installation (in MacOS
X 10.4.2) and find that when I try to typeset files, I now get the
error message:
tcsh: texexec: Command not found.
In trying to deal with this, I discovered that the alias of teTeX in
my Library folder is broken. I
Alan,
re-establishing the link is not difficult: in the Terminal, type
cd /Library
sudo ln -s /usr/local/teTeX ./teTeX
But you're aware that the broken link has nothing to do with your
problem, right?

At this point I am not sure how to diagnose the problem(s) or to

But, for the record, when I open Terminal and type
cd /Library
sudo ln -s /usr/local/teTeX ./teTeX
the teTeX alias is regenerated. Yet, when I try to open teTeX by
double clicking the alias icon, I
This sounds like the problem is not with your symlink, but with your
TeX installation. Are you sure it has been copied to your backup
disk? How did you clone the disk? What does the command
ls -al /usr/local/teTeX

I take it that my installation has been crunched, and my guess is
that it happened in the process of configuring the cloned backup for

Many thanks, Adam: that's what I did without knowing the whereabouts

Dear Contexters,
Recently I upgraded to MacOS X 10.4 and after that ConTeXt didn't
work: upon trying to typeset a file it says:
tcsh: /sw/bin/init.csh: No such file or directory.
and everything stops. This behaviour seems to be specific to ConTeXt,
called from within TeXShop, since

Otared,
that's typical behavior when you used to have a fink installation
before the upgrade. Somewhere in your profile (I don't use tcsh, so
I don't know the name of the file), there's a line saying
